Resolution
When using stock reels, most long-run, high production operations will employ a non-powered or plain stock reel in conjunction with a power driven straightener. If the straightener is powered there is no sense in adding the difficulty of synchronizing another power train in the reel. It happens to be easier, too, to synchronize the free loop from the powered straightener since the material is being powered from its surface, not from the core which results in an awkward speed ratio as the coil depletes.
